![]() ![]() I think as he gets older he’ll be more into the videos and songs, but right now he is more enamoured with what happens when he clicks the mouse.Īfter testing it out for a couple weeks, DinoLingo has become part of our daily routine. He found the videos interesting, but didn’t quite understand why they didn’t DO anything and spent most of the time clicking around the screen. We explored around the lessons, videos and songs, but he always went back to the games. He enjoyed playing the matching game and earning dinosaurs. We were able to easily figure out how to play most of the games and what the words meant. At first I thought it was odd there weren’t translations along with the Spanish words, but I get it now.

Now that he’s got a good hold of speaking in full sentences, I felt he was finally ready to give another language a try. I dialed back my ambition just a little and decided Spanish could wait. I got myself an app and was diligently brushing up on my Spanish language skills up until his birth, when my world changed and I realized it was going to be hard enough just teaching him basic English. I did very well in my college Spanish classes and knew enough to flub my way through a brief stint working Spring Break promotions in Mexico, so I figured I could at least pass on the basics like numbers, colors and how to ask for a beer.
